Why mosquitoes rhymes the way it does
Mosquitoes is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the front /ษ/, then it ends in a hissed consonant. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 5 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 312, assonance 5,726, and consonance 149. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical: skim the strict column first and pick the two or three matches you can sing without thinking. Then move to assonance for the in-between lines. Mosquitoes reads as more memorable when the strict matches are reserved for the line endings that matter most.
